The new posting, launched today, lambastes Bachmann's similar criticisms of the health care bills moving through Congress.

"Too many Americans live with the painful consequences of our broken health care system to let Bachmann's reckless lies go unchecked," the Democrats said in an e-mail. "So this week, we're calling her out."

The campaign takes its cue from Obama, who said last month that "we will call you out" on misrepresentations of his health care proposals.

"Too many Americans live with the painful consequences of our broken health care system to let Bachmann's reckless lies go unchecked," the Democrats said in an e-mail. "So this week, we're calling her out."

And who broke it? You guys! Unprincipled statist vote-whores like LBJ! Now you think you can stand there and bemoan the situation, as if the solution would be to do something YOU support??

I think, unlike taking down Sarah, this “call them out” policy could easily backfire on them. It will bring to light alot of issues the media has been ingnoring. It might actually work to her advantage.

Last week, Bachmann raised the specter of schoolhouse abortions if the House Democrats' health reform overhaul becomes law. She suggested that the provisions of the bill would allow young girls to get abortion referrals from what she referred to as "sex clinics."

Interesting that the article doesn't mention any attempt by the democRATs to actually refute the claim.

My response to those who say Obamacare will not cost us? Do you REALLY think there is $400 billion from fraud to be cut in Medicare? Ask Senior citizens. Medicare already denies much in health care to Seniors. That’s a $400 billion lie that needs to be ‘called out’.

What are you talking about? Every time they talk down to Sarah, about five minutes later she has them slowing turning on a spit over the flames of public opinion dripping statist fat into the embers. Every time they say something snarky about her, it legitimizes her and puts her more squarely in the public eye.

For the second time in less than a month, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has painted a bull's eye on a Minnesota Republican, targeting Rep. Michele Bachmann. The Democrats' "Call 'Em Out" Internet campaign was launched last month...

They should just change the name of the party to Alinskycrats. Pick a target, personalize it, polarize it...

I meant how they polarized her, and took her down during the election. But, she is one tough cookie. She didn’t quit. I give her props. I am a little sad that she didn’t find her voice sooner. It would be a different America. Perhaps people just weren’t ready to listen then but , I agree, they are listening now.

Yeah, as well as many took to her during the campaign, she needed some experience at how the game is played at that level. Once she understood the ground rules, she seems to be kicking ass and taking names.

She should go on the floor of the House and demand an apology from the Democrats. She should call upon the President to demand civility from his party. It won't happen, but it might be some good theater.

I really like her. I feel that she is more like one of us, than one of “them”. I know they are afraid because given the chance, she would clean house. They are going to fight her to the death. I hope she is ready.

I like her too and I’m proud of her. I think from what I’ve seen, she could pull off a credible House race in ‘10. Can’t really tell if she’s ready to run for President / VP, but surely she will be by ‘12, as far as she’s come in only a year.

I am kind of glad that she learned this lesson right out of the gate. She is young enough to bounce back, and luckily for her, Obama has alot more water under his bridge now than she has under hers. He has given her so much ammunition that she really can fight “the powers that be”this time! This time she will hold all the cards. She earned it.
